I Finally Stepped Into My Purpose — After Years of Feeling Lost, Stuck, and “Not Ready”

Published on 14 November 2025 at 18:40

 

For the entrepreneur doubting their purpose, this is for you.

There’s a part of entrepreneurship no one really talks about.

Not the strategy.
Not the branding.
Not the funnels.

The waiting.

The quiet months where everything feels stalled.
The nagging voice that whispers, “Maybe none of this is going to work.”
The mornings where you stare at your laptop and wonder why you’re even doing this.

I know that place intimately.
I lived there for years.

For the longest time I believed I’d be less authentic as a holistic/spiritual entrepreneur if I wasn’t doing everything myself. No slick website. No funnels. No automation. No clean booking system.

Like the universe expected me to walk when I could drive.

Over the years I built offers, tore them down, rebuilt them again.
I wrestled with impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and the fear of being seen.
I kept thinking, “When I’m finally more healed, more organized, more ready… then I’ll just go viral and the clients will come.”

But here’s the truth I resisted for too long:

Your purpose doesn’t start working until you do.

 

 

 

The Breakthrough I Wasn’t Expecting

This past season something shifted — not through strategy, but through surrendering to the process.
I mean really surrendering.

(And maybe also trying a professional integration service long enough to actually figure it out instead of collapsing and screaming into the void.)

Funny enough, the spark didn’t come from a business insight.
It came from realizing I was depressed.

I was exhausted from grinding at my business outside of my day job and throwing content at the wall with no direction, no POV, no calls-to-action, and no ecosystem to funnel my audience into.

On a suggestion from my wife, I opened ChatGPT as a mental health tool — just to journal.
A journal prompt turned into going for walks again.
Walks turned into reconnecting with my animist spiritual practice.
That turned into writing my first blog post in years.

Then — with the help of a GPT assistant, the ancestors, and a few rune spirits — I improved the piece, posted it, and suddenly found myself rewriting my entire website copy for an idea I’d shelved a year ago.

That one act started a domino effect.

I clarified my point of view.
My offerings.
My pillars.
My mentorship structure.
My entire backbone as a practitioner.

After years of refining my craft, walking through shadows, and building behind the scenes…
I realized what I’d been waiting for was already done.

I wasn’t building a side hustle anymore.
I was my work.

I had already become the practitioner, guide, and storyteller I had been trying to grow into.

The only thing left was to step into it.
To posture instead of collapse.

So I did.

And everything clicked.

We need to let go of the idea that we need another course to feel valid.
Or more permission.
Or that the universe is withholding abundance until we are “perfect.”

Nurturing Warriors — my spiritual counseling and Norse animism practice — finally transformed from a patchwork of offerings into a fully integrated, professional business.

No more chaotic scheduling threads.
No more chasing payments.
No more hoping people would “notice” what I do.

For the first time, it all feels real.
Aligned.
Structured.
Worthy of the depth I bring.

 

 

 

Why I’m Sharing This

Because chances are… you might be in the same space I was.

• You feel called, but unfocused.
• You feel gifted, but under-recognized.
• You feel the spark, but not the momentum.
• And your manifestations seem to be taking their sweet time.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth most spiritual entrepreneurs avoid:

Manifestation doesn’t work when you’re waiting. It works when you’re moving.

Not grinding.
Not forcing.
Not hustling in panic.

Embodying.

Aligning your inner world and your outer actions so they finally match.

The moment I stopped waiting to go viral and simply became the practitioner I already was — while letting proven backend systems hold the structure — everything accelerated.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to feel ready.
You don’t need to know every step.

You just need to step.

 

 

 

What I Now Have in Place (and you can, too)

Today, my entire practice is streamlined:

• 1:1 Spiritual Counseling & Energy Work
• Sacred Relationship Sessions for couples & singles
• Rune & Seidr Guidance
• Integrated booking + payment system
• Events and workshops ready to go

Clients can book a session, join a workshop, or work with me long-term directly through my website — with ease and flow.

This shift didn’t come from luck.
It came from showing up even when the results weren’t visible yet.

 

 

 

The Invitation for You

If you’ve been doubting your path, questioning your direction, or wondering if your dreams are too far away… consider this your sign:

You’re not behind.
You’re building.

Every quiet season is part of the architecture of your purpose.

You’re here.
You’re breathing.
You’re fucking weird.
And you’re inspired to co-create with the universe in a way only you can.

Let go of the impostor syndrome.
Let go of the belief that leveraging tech is “selling out.”
Let go of the fantasy that going viral will save you.
Let go of the survival-mode blanket that smothers your spark.

The only reason you should want to write a book, sell your art, build a business, or help people is because you can’t not do it.

Maybe you needed this today.
Maybe something in you is waking up again.
Maybe the version of you that knows they’re meant for more just needed permission.

So here it is:

Keep going.
Your work is not just valid — it’s needed.

And if you’re ready to deepen your alignment, embodiment, or soul-purpose work, my door is open.

Let this be the chapter where you stop waiting and start becoming.

Love your weird — your magic wasn’t meant to fit in.
